That's very cool, but also very complicated. I created a demo for my app recently[1] and I used intro.js[2]. It was very simple and only involved you changing html tags. This seems way more customizable, but also might be overkill. Sti

I like it when some of my own thoughts are validated by others. I've been working on a few projects now for the last few months and it amazes me how much better the next on is than the first, like he mentioned in the first point. The o

I played high level golf for a while and a lot of these articles forget the two main rules I've learned from it. The first is intense practice. This means devoting 100 percent to every repetition. This is obviously difficult because of

I believe there was a post about this earlier that the game is solved[1]. Interesting game for those who don't know that, or who want to go through the exercise to figure out the correct strategy. [1] https://www.joachim-bre

How do you plan to deal with repeat submissions and a hive mind mentality? Places like /r/music just have the same already popular songs get to the top every few months just depending on how many upvotes they get at submission tim

I've always felt like the value of playing the lottery is not in the numerical outcome, but rather the enjoyment of thinking about what could happen if you win. How much enjoyment you get from dreaming about the outcome can, for some p

I don't think you'll find many people here who disagree with you there. Since these apps by default are stand alone, so they can't leverage large user bases as well as web apps. And people don't really feel loyalty to co

I feel like if you make the effort, then it isn't an issue. Call people instead of texting, do the upside-down phone thing when you go out to eat or have drinks with the people you just called to hang out with. If you "go off the

I'm actually working on this now for an app. The data is for the scores from a golf tournament. When I was that it loaded dynamically, I dug through all the requests using Chrome's developer tools. I was able to find the json that

There's another element in there. The one about relative skill. Let's say that you're a much better player than the other person, and that you would win 90% of the time heads up (one on one, which we are going to assume at th

Wow, that whole blog is focused on bashing Matlab. I find it a little difficult to trust a source that biased. If they can't find something good in a product that has been around for, according to wikipedia, something like 30 years, th

The author seems to be aiming this article at people who decide to spend their time on something that can generate passive income because it generates passive income. And I agree with that sentiment. That being said, if you enjoy doing so

Besides generic software patents, the oddest one I've seen is being able to patent a color. Since Nike has the patent on the color "Maize", Adidas had to come up with a new color for Michigan athletics. Also, I'm not sur

So what if startup guy disagrees with the choices of PIH? This is another example of conflicting ideologies, and luckily, no one can do something about it. Imagine if there was a politician who didn't like the approach PIH was taking a

I might even go so far as saying that is isn't about the tool, it's about the enjoyment you get from it. Quality should be important only if it's important to you. For most people it is, but if you enjoy doing something, it s

First off, I hate it how they always try to frame new laws as trying to "protect" people. The same with airline searches and the whole PRISM deal. Also, I read somewhere on the subject of child pornography that allowing those peop

Interesting move. ESPN actually has a seemingly forward attitude to this sort of "technical" info in sports. They have a regular segment called "Sports Science" where they bring in athletes and hook them up to monitors a

How prevalent is Angular in the wild? To me, it's always seemed like something people would learn to show that they know more "cool" technologies. With its steep learning curve, how useful is it to spend the time learning it
